Without You

Life was the same no longer,
We lingered in sorrow,
With our tomorrow’s sour.

Without you.
Mama’s heart was bruised for life
She had no reason to laugh;
She smiled every time to hide the
Hole in her soul.
Our family never was whole,
Papa was never home.
I felt the doctors didn’t play their role.

Without you;
Darkness shined brighter than gold
Memories of you drained us empty.
We suffered in vain.
A daily dose of your love
Made us mundane.
